I’ve been playing with AI a lot lately. I have this idea to create a music video for one of my songs using AI. There are so many websites out there that allow you to create people from the ether or, even scarier, take a real person’s photograph and make them talk and say whatever you want. You can create a song from an idea and let AI write the lyrics, come up with the melody and create a complete pop song.

I had an idea to create a complete AI band and release my songs as if I were a band (think Gorillaz) but Timbaland has beat me to it. In the latest news, Timbaland (music producer and rapper) has created an AI female pop artist called TaTa and he is poised to release an album with music completely created by AI and sung by this completely made up female avatar. Scary, but kinda cool. I guess as long as you know it is AI made, where is the harm? If there are no copyright infringements in the music, what’s the harm?

So can we survive Artificial Intelligence? Can I get AI to write my blog posts? I may have to try that. Anyway, during my introduction and learning how to create AI videos, I created the following short video of me as a Pixar character introducing my YouTube channel. Enjoy.
